Obituary

Annelies Raetzer (nee Weiersmüller), of Kingston died peacefully on June 8, 2023, under the gift of hospice care, at Commonwealth Senior Living at Oak Ridge.   

Annelies was born on January 16, 1942, in Canton Aargau, Switzerland.  She and her young family immigrated to the United States in 1971, where they initially lived in Minnesota, and the Indiana, finally settling in Kingston, Tennessee in 1979.  A highly skilled classical guitarist and pianist, Annelies earned her bachelor’s degree in music therapy from Tennessee Technical University, and classical music remained her lifelong passion.  Annelies also cared deeply about fostering and caring for rescued animals.  Consequently, any creature of any species was always able to find a delicious meal in her home.  Along with her commitment to animal welfare, Annelies was an enthusiastic supporter of restorative justice.  She was an active member of Save Our Cumberland mountains and the Victim Offended Reconciliation Program, as well as a long-time support of Roane County Humane Society.

Annelies was preceded in death by her husband of 57 years: Franz Raetzer.

Survived by her daughter: Dr. Brigit Villines and husband Joshua.

Grandson: John-Francis Villines.

Siblings: Liselotee Mosimann and Martin (Marianne) Weiersmüller.
